Dear Colleagues,
This is an announcement of the availability of a new molecular
modeling program - Biomer - that is accessible over the web.
It should be useful as an educational tool as well as a means
to generate structures quickly and easily. It is written in
Java, and version 1.0a has the following features:
Model Builders for:
nucleic acids (DNA/RNA)
polypeptides
polysaccharides
Interactive molecule editor with fragment libraries
Implementation of the AMBER force field
Geometry Optimization with steepest descent / conjugate gradient
Simulated Annealing with molecular dynamics
Reads / Writes PDB files
Exports jpeg, gif, and ppm images
It is located at http://www.scripps.edu/~nwhite/Biomer/index.html
Regards,
Neill White
